Hi all.
Some things I read in the "Your advice for improving youth league" thread, and some things going on in my son's current fall ball season have me wondering how many games are approripate for certain age groups?
I agree with the axiom that youth baseball should incorporate two practices for every game played, and, surprisingly, for the first time since my son started playing baseball I think he's at that ratio or above. However, Virginia in the fall can be rainy, and he's already had two weekends rained out and a scheduling conflict that caused them not to be able to play this weekend as well. So now I'm actually concerned that they're not going to be getting enough games in this season. At the moment, they will be fortunate to play ten games this fall.
Anyway, I thought perhaps this would be a good discussion to have. For the various age groups, how many games should they play? For these age groups, should the practice to game ratio stay the same or should there be a very high practice to game ratio at the younger ages and have it steadily descrease as they get older?
